Character Types

Frequently in movies, TV shows, commercials, and modeling we’ll see the same basic characters over and over again. Which type do you look most like? It’s important to work with your agent and acting coach to find out which character types you fit into. Once you know a direction that you’re perfect for, you can start creating headshots that fill that niche.

To help determine your type, think about roles that you’d be perfect for if you had the opportunity. Don’t say “any”. Be specific. What actors do you want to model your career on? Are you more Tom Cruise or Steve Buscemi. All character types are needed, so be honest with yourself. Play into your looks.
